Industry Focus: Health Care

At Nilan Johnson Lewis, we appreciate the dynamic nature of the health care industry. We know our health care clients experience constant regulatory and organizational change, necessitating an adaptable, efficient, and high-performing workforce. We also recognize the heightened level of responsibility that comes from being entrusted with sensitive health-related information.

Our Labor and Employment group delivers focused expertise to clients from across the breadth of the health care industry, whether they provide direct service, develop technology to support the delivery of health care, or are involved in providing or administering health insurance benefits. We partner with our clients to develop a deep understanding of their business and the internal and external pressures they face in order to provide practical advice geared to their unique needs. We also understand the grave risks involved in litigation as well as how it impinges on business goals. We tailor our defense of both individual and class claims to achieve success in ways that are consistent with our client’s values, reputation, and goals. While we work to resolve matters outside the courtroom, our group is always ready to litigate when necessary; we have litigated—and won—numerous verdicts for our health care clients.

The variety of services we provide to health care entities including:

Litigation through verdict in arbitrations and related court proceedings

Non-competition and trade secret drafting, advising, and litigation

Wage-and-hour compliance advising and misclassification audits

Wage-and-hour litigation defense against the Department of Labor and private parties

Representation during Department of Labor or other agency audits, investigations, and hearings
